Roadmap to the city dashboards<br />
All the SoCR city data dashboards are structured in the same way. Using selected indicators from the State of<br />
Cities Open Data Almanac (SCODA), they present a thematic storyline about city performance. Indicators are<br />
a snapshot of selected trends or facts that are used to “indicate” the state or condition of something. Where<br />
data is available for more than one year, the indicators show how conditions are changing over time. They are,<br />
therefore, by no means a comprehensive assessment of the issues represented, but provide the ability to<br />
benchmark <strong>cities</strong>. The 2016 Data Almanac section of this report provides additional information and guidance<br />
on the methodology, indicator definitions, metadata, and data access. It also lists an expanded set of indicators<br />
available in SCODA. These profiles are intended to display comparative data and indicators in an easy-to-view<br />
format, which requires using uniform data sources. Therefore, while newer or additional data may be available<br />
for some <strong>cities</strong>, it was not used in order to retain comparability. And, in some cases, provincial averages are<br />
used as proxies (e.g. life expectancy). Improving on the ability to report consistently, credibly and comparatively<br />
on such indicators is the primary goal of SCODA.<br />

PEOPLE AND HOUSEHOLDS<br />
Size of city The population of Johannesburg has doubled between 2001 and 2011. Fewer people are living in more houses which means the City<br />
has to provide infrastructure at a rate faster than the city is growing.<br />
